Being able to identify intervals by both sight and by sound is very helpful. A good way to train your ear to identify intervals is by associating it with a song that begins with that interval. Here are some ideas:
Major 2nd:
Ascending--Happy Birthday
Descending--Mary Had a Little Lamb
Major 3rd:
Ascending--O When the Saints Come Marching In
Descending--Beethoven's 5th
Major 4th:
Ascending--Harry Potter
Descending--I've Been Working on the Railroad
Major 5th:
Ascending--Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Descending--Feelings/Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella
Major 6th:
Ascending--My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
Descending--Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen
Major 7th:
Ascending--Bali Hai
Descending--??? Any ideas???
Major 8th:
Ascending--Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Descending--There's No Business Like Show Business
